More quotes by George McGovern
I didn't used to care about living a long time. Not that I wasn't enjoying life, but I never sat around asking how I'd get to be 100, you know. But now I want to live long enough to see every school child in the world getting a good, nutritious lunch every day.
George McGovern
We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost

George McGovern

George McGovern
Don't throw away your conscience.
George McGovern
I didn't know a damned thing about mental illness and neither did anyone around me.
George McGovern
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
George McGovern
For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has received too little in return. It is not necessary to centralize power in order to solve our problems.
George McGovern
I flew a full string of 35 combat missions over some of the most heavily defended targets in Europe. We were hitting Hitler's oil refineries, his tank factories, his aircraft factories, his railway yards. Those were our prime targets.
